The Florida Striders Track Club is one of the largest running clubs in Jacksonville and the North Florida area. It’s mission to promote running and good health has continued since its inception in 1978. The Florida Striders sponsor 5 races each year with the proceeds going to fund our Children’s Running Program. Last year we were recognized as the Running Club of the Year by the Road Runners Club of America. The Florida Striders epitomizes what a true running club should be through its continued youth outreach in over 60 schools affecting over 18,000 children promoting running as a healthy lifestyle for a healthy life.
